ABOUT
The Agusevi Dzambo Orchestra is a brass band from Macedonia, virtuously performing music that might be defined as a fusion of traditional Balkan, Gypsy, and Turkish music, with influences of swing and jazz. The band was founded by Koco Agushev, who was a legendary trumpet player, well-known in the Balkans and an appreciated musician abroad; everybody praised his talent and virtuosity.
The Agusevi Dzambo Orchestra's popularity rose on the world scene over the years, but the era came when the trumpet virtuoso Dzambo Agushev (Djambo Ozden) became the band leader. Dzambo was born in Macedonia in 1987. His family has a long and significant musical tradition. Since his childhood, following the example of his father Cemal and his uncle Koco, Dzambo never even considered an alternative to a music career. At the age of 11, Dzambo became a member of the Orchestra as the third trumpet. Dzambo embraced all challenges and went to compete at the "Kumanovo Trumpet Fest" in 2006, outshining the other musicians and conquering a deserved first place. From 2006 until 2011, the new star of the Agushevi Orchestra was the absolute champion in Kumanovo, until he was banned from competing in order to leave some possibilities for the other trumpet players! In 2011, he took part in the competition in Pehcevo and managed to win all the prizes, impressing the jury. The famous "Dragacevski Sabor" in Guca, Serbia (also known as the "Golden Trumpet competition") has been since the sixties the most important event of this kind in the whole region and probably in the world. At the World competition in the summer of 2011, The Agushevi Orchestra received the first prize and Dzambo wrote his name in the history of the famous event: both the judges and the audience appraised the Orchestra and its young leader.
Recently, the Orchestra joined the cast of Memento-Momento, a memorable concert event by Nino D'Angelo, directed by maestro Roberto De Simone. Very impressed by the energy of these musicians, the legendary De Simone insisted on having them as a part of the celebrations for the proclamation of the Gigli of Nola / UNESCO heritage. The guys are, aside from touring, also working on their new CD, planned for late spring 2014. Their strength lies in their ability to appeal to a remarkably broad audience across all age groups. The Agusevi Dzambo Orchestra will lead the way internationally in inventing a viable, vibrant, and flexible solution for "The newest trumpet revolution!"
Their wide repertoire and flexible approach mean that they can perform quite complex pieces. They are a very powerful, very exciting, and highly energized brass band!
